Chapter 3: Youthful Life

Phew, this is tough. It's hard finding people who want to do a theatrical play with me.

By the way, Ichigo, what do you want to do?

Me? I don't mind either way. But to be honest, I don't really want to be in a play.

If you don't care, then let's do the play!

I can write my ideal script and play out my dream! It can't get any better than that!

Orihime and I will be the main characters! Imagine, a hero arriving to save his princess in distress! The hero being me, of course.

I have to go find Keigo and Orihime before it gets too late.

I'd usually be home by this time.

Hey, don't ignore me like that!

Come on, Ichigo! What would it take for you to side with my idea?!

I just told you, I'd prefer not to do that.

You also said you didn't care either way!

Fine! Then let's see who can defeat that Hollow first!

If I win, you'll vote for the play! If you win, you can vote for whatever you want.

Why do I have to?

It's decided.

Let's do it!

Dammit!

Looks like I win.

Even if you had gotten my vote, if another idea gets more votes, it won't matter.

Don't stress over what we end up doing. It's more important to enjoy whatever it is that the class decides to do.

I guess you do have a point. I look forward to it either way.

I'll stroll around school with Orihime by my side, and ask her to the dance afterwards. That's one way to enjoy a youthful school life.

Why are you so adamant about this youthful school life thing?

Oh, is this Shinji's class?

I'm pretty sure he told us not to come. Do you think he'll be mad if he finds out?

Who cares? I don't ever have to listen to what he says.

Kensei! Buy me cotton candy! Pleeeeease!

Shut up! Go buy it yourself!

I thought I heard yelling outside. It was just you guys.

Hey, Ichigo! Here we are!

I never invited you.

Well, you should have! We're your training masters, idiot!

So, what's your class doing?

A gender bender café.

A what?

It's a café where girls dress up as guys, and guys dress up as girls.

I work on preparing the food, so it doesn't matter to me though.

Pff.

That's a weird idea! Hahaha!

Oh, I think Shinji's handling customers in the classroom. It's his shift right now.

Why didn't you say so faster?!

Oh well.

Baaahahahaha!!! Take a look at Shinji!

What the?! Hiyori?! I told you not to come!

You're so ugly! This is hilarious!!! Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!

S-Stop laughing! Dammit! Why did it have to turn out like this?!
